Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: I wanted to read something different and gravitated toward memoirs, I enjoy Bob Odenkirk's work and thought it might be an interesting look into his life and experiences.

Overall rating: I can't say that I was overly excited about this book, especially as I found myself continually trying to figure out just how much longer was left. But what kept me reading was the connections. My introduction to Odenkirk was through Breaking Bad and I had absolutely no clue they had a whole, huge repertoire before that. I enjoyed hearing about some of the history and especially about the people that they had the opportunity to work with and work for, but overall, there was a lack of depth and I was more interested in hearing about the parts that didn't involve Odenkirk (like Farley, Black, and so on) than I was about hearing about his actual career trajectory. 'Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama' was just an eh for me. I'm not mad that I read it, but it's definitely not one that I'm going to go around saying was absolutely fabulous. You'll often hear me say that I'm not a huge fan of rating memoirs, mainly because I'm just thankful that someone was willing to share their experience, feelings, and life with us through pages. And even this one, it may not be my cup of tea...and it may need quite a bit of sugar to liven that cup of tea right up...but I'm still appreciative of Odenkirk sharing their life and experiences with us through the book.

Reader's Note: I listened to 'Comedy...' as an audiobook and there were times when the recording was painfully awkward. It just felt off. Like he was reading the book for the first time, or trying to put on a show of it, or not really knowing how many people it would reach so he just said f it, I'm not going to practice this narration or read ahead so I know what's coming up. It was distracting and probably didn't help my whole 'good lord, how many pages are left?!' feeling that crept up all too often with this book. (Which usually I would just stop reading but I had gotten to the halfway point and much like my overall opinion of the book, it was like 'eh, why not.'
